Just finished Whiplash. Not a bad movie but best part was JK Simmons, he did a great job with his role.
Last week I watched Birdman. I loved it. Strange at times but the story is good (reminds me of Keaton in real life with Batman and Ben Stiller/Tug Speedman in Tropic Thunder haha), great acting especially from Keaton, Norton, and Galifianakis, and I loved the single shot aspect. Wasn't sure what to expect from the single shot but I felt it worked extremely well.

Cinderella was really good. I'd put it at 313.29% better than Maleficent. Wonderfully acted. Beautifully shot. Lily James and Robb Stark have excellent chemistry with each other. Overall it was just a good, enjoyable movie.

Re: Movie
I finally watched this and the above seems correct. The little girl did a good job. The one part that bothered me was the (way too obvious) looming threat of someone opening their mouth to the wrong person.eddysnake wrote:pretty much agree with this. Based on the trailer, I had a little higher hopes for it. I like how they portrayed death and will be following up the movie with the book which I can see being a lot better.Dickie Dunn wrote:Watched The Book Thief a couple weeks ago. Anymore it seems like if a movie relates to WWII critics feel obligated to give it a good review. The movie was okay. Slow as all hell. The main girl and Geoffrey Rush were excellent. For some reason I was really put off by the characters speaking an odd combination of English with a German accent and German. Pick a damn language, this isn't Firefly.
I *generally* don't like films, where children play such a large role, but that's because I'm curmudgeon. Three/five stars, but probably would never watch again.

Re: Movie
blegh. I love Clerks and Mallrats but considering how no reboot sequels are any good these days (I'm looking at you Anchorman 2, Dumb and Dumber 2, Hobbit, etc.) they're probably going to be shiiteFreeCandy44 wrote:Some of us are excited....

I think the Disney adaptation was more in line with "we have little Tokyo in san Fran, lets expand that but still be American for our audience"PensFanInDC wrote:I also think Big Hero 6 takes place in a world where Japan won WWII...
I know the comics had a villain called everwraith that was a manifestation of the bombings at hiroshima, so those events, one would assume, took place. I liked the route they went with the villain. They mixed the doc ock minibot storyline without treading into the minibots doing too many ock-like things--the first sighting at the dock was a good h/t.
